So this is the boat I went to see: http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2004-POLARIS-EX2100-96814119

Compared to this one, the one above is not in such nice shape: http://boats.iboats.com/2004-polaris-ex2100-jet-boat/656194.html

Then I found a blue one for less (really like the blue): http://www.sellboatsnow.com/browse/powerboats/polaris-ex2100-250hp-optimax-8-500-00-l74.html

I know that living in NY, things are priced relatively higher but I'm not sure if I want to spend $12K~ and then have to do a 'boat load' of work to get this thing humming and looking great. My feeling is to hold off for now, maybe look again once the season if fully over...
